BENDING SPOONS' PLAYBOOK: BUY LOW AND HOLD

Summary from the TLDR Fintech newsletter

Bending Spoons has built a permanent-capital model around acquiring distressed digital brands such as Evernote, Vimeo, WeTransfer, Eventbrite, and Airtable at steep discounts, radically restructuring them, and holding them indefinitely rather than selling them like a traditional private equity firm. The strategy has driven rapid revenue and profit growth, but its heavy use of debt and dependence on consistently successful integrations make execution discipline the central risk.
